Description :
The AA. present a new stratigraphic (pollen and nonpollen microfossils and charcoal particle) sequence with 5 AMS dates, covering about the last 9000 yr, of a core collected from the Spanish northern meseta, in a region known as Tierra de Pinares. The results support the hypothesis of the permanence of the pine forests, in more or less pure masses or large timber stands, during the Holocene in some Iberian continental zones. The results also contribute to the settling of an old controversy in relation to whether or not the character of these pines is natural.
